I don’t know about you, but I often end up with bits and pieces of party supplies leftover. I hate to throw away the extra paper straws, decorations or treat bags. Other than just making an ordinary day special, I try to look for other ways to use these items. Hence the “strawburst” garland. (A [...]
Pin ItReady or not, here they come!!! That’s right, the elves are set to arrive in less than a month. Our family’s treasured elf friends are Nicky and Merry. This year, we are expecting them to bring Holly with them as well (but, shhhhh…the kids don’t know yet). It’s going to be a full house! Did [...]
Pin ItDo you ever get to party time and realize that you just need a little something more? That is where I was for my daughter’s “Perfect in Paris” birthday party a couple of weeks ago–and yes, the full post on the festivities is forthcoming. I took a quick a look at the supplies I’d already [...]

Pin ItEvery birthday girl needs a little something special to wear for her big bash, right!?!? And, of course, it has to color coordinate with the rest of the party. You may recall my color scheme for the year has been red and turquoise, so at least I had a starting point. And, since it is around [...]
Ok, isn’t this just the cutest little thing?!?! It seems so appropriate for Christmas as the poms make great gift toppers, garlands, ornaments, etc… Here’s a quick tutorial… start with baker’s twine and a fork (be sure the tines are far enough apart to get a piece of twine through them) wrap the twine around all the [...]
I’m seeing red…and I love it! Just a couple of my favorites for the holidays! Starbucks Christmas blend (regular or decaf) is the BEST coffee ever. The holiday feels official when the Christmas blend has brewed and we’ve got a mug next to the Christmas tree–in fact, we don’t open gifts on Christmas morning until [...]
Okay, so I got a little carried away… What could be better than a fabric rosette wreath?!? I used all of the different fabric rosette clips I have in the shop and clipped them to a white Christmas wreath (from Michaels). I used it to display the rosettes at a craft fair a few weeks back. (And, the rosettes are [...]
